In Exercises 1 to 4, consider the congruent triangles shown.
For the triangles shown, we can express their congruence with the statement $\triangle A B C \equiv \triangle F E D .$ By reordering the vertices, express this congruence with a different statement.

Key Concepts

Triangle Congruence

Triangle congruence describes a relationship where two triangles have exactly the same size and shape. This means that all corresponding sides and angles of one triangle are equal to those of the other, regardless of their position or orientation in space.

Congruence Statement Notation

A congruence statement is a formal way of expressing that two triangles are congruent. It lists the vertices of one triangle followed by the vertices of the other triangle in an order that aligns each vertex with its corresponding match. This ordered notation ensures clarity about which parts of the triangles are being compared.

Corresponding Vertices

The order of vertices in a congruence statement is critical because it shows which angles and sides correspond between the two triangles. When reordering these vertices, care must be taken to keep the proper correspondence; that is, the first vertex of one triangle must match with the first vertex of the other triangle, the second with the second, and the third with the third.
